  • He is absolutely right! This is exactly what the Vedas taught. It was due to the nature of home schooling that people starting thinking of varnas as castes. Varnas are based on the predominate merit of the person and it is never based on birth unless someone continues the line by proving their merit.

    Great video.

  • I think if every Hindu were to think of the caste system on these terms it would greatly eradicate the social divisions that hinder our progress as a people.

  • He's right to a point, but one cant compare the working of a body to a society. However all Intellectuals & those engaged in persuit of Science are Brahmans, those who are related to Economic activities are Vaishyas, Those who Defend a society from inner & outer aggression (Army,Police etc) are Ksatriyas & the Working Class are the Shudras, & WITHIN each of these for classes the four groupings further exist eg one can be a Param-Brahman, Kshatriya-Brahman or Brahm-Vaishya or Brahm-Shudra so on.

  • ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!

  • Everyone shd know this explanation to remove caste and creed system from our minds!

    Yhank You Beloved Swami Ji!

    Jai Maa!!!!!!!!

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE VARNA SYSTEM!!!!

    thanks LordKrishnaMyHero for actually getting the point of the varnas and why they are even prescribed in the Vedas

  • amaizing we spent so much time projecting our attention to the outside world,when we could become wiser projecting it inside us.

  • sounds like a very philosphical person...not bad

  • What system would the Siddhi fall under?

  • Wonderful and accurate explanation. I hope many Hindus can learn from this guy and actually read the Vedic scriptures. Understanding this fundamental truth will help create a better society. The Vedas says that all are equal, no one is superior or inferior. God Bless all.
